PETER'S POV

As they walked, Peter kept a close eye on the girl. The three were silent and Peter noticed how she kept a strong hold onto her sword. He had been surprised when it turned out to be a woman under the bag instead of a man and even more surprised with how well she fought. It took me a while to figure it out he thought grumpily.

He glanced over at Caspian and noticed how he kept glancing at her. He shook his head. Her beauty was obvious and even Peter could see that. But it was something else that drew him in, something about her that he didnt quite understand and that unnerved him. The only problem was, was that it was obvious that she also drew Caspian in as well. That had been evident from the moment he laid eyes on her.

Not that it matters, shes going home now anyway he thought. Finally after about 20 minutes of walking they reached a cave. The woman turned around to look at Peter and Caspian. "It was here" she said "this is where I came out of." Peter looked towards Caspian.

"Do you think its safe for us to go?" Peter asked him. Caspian considered this for a moment before replying. "No. We dont want to accidentally cross over and then not be able to come back. We dont need a repeat of that" the woman rose her eyebrows as Caspian reffered to when Peter and his siblings had accidentally abbandoned Narnia two years ago. A pang of guilt struck his chest and he swallowed. That was a long time ago he thought youve made up for that. Numerous times. "Why dont I go in then?" she said, interrupting his thoughts "Worst comes to worst ive crossed back over right?"

"Of course" Caspian said. Peter internally rolled his eyes and gestured to the cave "well go ahead then" he said a bit snippy.

The woman took a hesitant step forward, entering into the cave until she was no longer seen.

Goodbye he thought and though he hated to admit it a pang of regret coursed through his chest.

CLARA'S POV

The cave was dark and my heart beat rapidly as I walked in. Though there wasnt as much light in the cave, I could already tell that my journey would be short lived. After a few paces my eyes adjusted and I saw the wall of stone a few inches infront of me. My shoulders fell as I brushed my fingers over it. Tears filled my eyes and I fought to hold them in. I leaned my head against the stone wall and breathed in and out slowly. Breathe. Just stay calm. You will find a way out of here.

Finally after a few seconss had passed I took a deep breath and headed out, my armour clanking together. As I stepped out of the cave I saw the surprised faces of King Peter and King Caspian. "Theres a wall there now" I said bluntly. King Caspians eyes furrowed and he looked towards King Peter. "That can only mean one thing" he said. "Youre staying in Narnia" King Peter finished.

"So tell me, how exactly were you captured by a group of Narnians?" King Caspian asked. We were walking back to where the two kings had left their horses and I sighed as I walked."Well its kind of a long story." I said and looked at him. He smiled "Well Ive got time."  I shrugged and started "well I had just walked into a forest when a half man half goat like creature-"

"Faun." King Peter interrupted, walking up on my right side. I nodded and continued "when a Faun appeared out of nowhere and grabbed me. I was startled at first but reacted on instinct and knocked hom out. Then I stole his armour and sword." I gestured with my hand up and down my body as I reffered to my stolen armour "Then I joined the group that I had found. It wasnt until that Faun had woken up and caught up to us that he announced that I was an imposter.I tried to run but that was when, King Caspian,  I became their prisoner." I looked up at him and a ghost of a smile touched his lips.
